BLM melding help for a return player

[Rongway]

Are you planning to learn the current savage raids? Outside of this context, it's not worth the materia/gil costs of overmelding your gear at all. And if you are in that context, it's not worth the materia/gil costs of overmelding your gear at this time because we're almost to the point that weekly lockouts will be lifted. Overall gear and fight choreography among people you play with are better than the first few weeks, and Savage will soon be farmable, so you'll be upgrading to Cryptlurker and Edenmorn gear imminently.

Max overmelds on crafted gear are really only necessary for competitive first week savage clears, so at this point your gil will bring you more happiness spent elsewhere.
